[...] Eater becomes the latest to poke fun at Benjamin Steakhouse’s PR tactics, posting an invitation to bloggers to come in and sample their goods. I wonder why Midtown Lunch didn’t get an invite? Oh… that’s right. [...]

Stumbled across this and was amused. http://3buckbites.com/3buckbites/sizzling-canadian-bacon-slices-at-benjamin-steakhouse-in-new-york-ny/

I doubt it’s $3 for all 4 slices, but if it is, that’s kind of a great bargain. I’m sure if you dined in, they’d give you a bread basket, so that would be a complete… ish… meal. Not that I’m recommending you eat bacon and bread for lunch, Zach. But you know. For the blog.

That salad looks like something my housecat, Mr. Cutlets, horked up after feasting in the dumpster.

If I were served something like that I would send it back, summon themanager and consult my attorney.

Wow. lapse in due diligence for the PR lady. lapse in judgment too. how are you gonna hawk a salad or soup for $10 with an unappetizing photo and expect a good response?

i smell a reverse (?) shill. no one is that stupid. NO ONE is THAT stupid!!!!! :head explodes:

Whaaaaat

I can buy a head of iceberg and a bottle of dressing for five bucks, and that apparently would make almost $40 worth of wedge salads, according to the Benjamin Steakhouse menu. Insane.

Steve: Not a big fan of Wendy’s but maybe when I think they deserve my business again. Haha.
Man, all that bread. I think I rather stuff it up with their chicken nuggets too.

I didn’t even know what the heck wedge salad was… until now.

Thanks everyone, for the educational experience!

You know….I’m ashamed to admit it…but I had a really good lunch at the Outback (56th and 3rd ave) a few weeks ago. Soup, 6 oz. steak, 2 full sized sides (mmmmm..fully loaded baked potato) and their honey sugar bread (no point in calling it wheat) for $9.99 (plus tax and tip). I mean…i wasnt expecting anything nice..but it sure was a good deal.

You know, the wedge salad does kind of look yummy. But, the fact that this place has a PR person says too me, that they’re probably overpriced. The best PR people are your regulars!!!
